The absolute temperature at which the rms speed of a hydrogen molecule is equal to its escape speed from the moon's surface is (where, R is radius of moon is r, g is acceleration due to gravity on Moon's surface, m is mass of hydrogen molecules and k is Boltzmann constant)
Options
- Am g R 2 k
- B2 m g R k
- C3 m g R 2 k
- D2 m g R 3 k
Correct answer
D. 2 m g R 3 k
Step-by-step solution
aligned & v_ rms ( hydrogen )= 3 R T M = 3 k T m & and v_ escape ( moon )= 2 g R & v_ rms =v_ escape & 3 k T m =2 g R T= 2 m g R 3 k & aligned
